Sen. Chris Murphy (D-Conn.) said Sunday on NBC's “Meet the Press” that President Joe Biden should have withdrawn from the 2024 election sooner.
Murphy said, “Some of the most important things Joe Biden has done is to take on big corporations that are aiming for monopoly power and the extremely exorbitant fees that those companies use to harm us.'' I think it was a way of supporting consumers through various mechanisms.” I wish the Biden and Harris campaigns had talked more about what they have done to dismantle corporate power. So I think the Democratic Party needs to be more aggressive on this issue. Power is concentrated and needs to be returned to ordinary Americans. We need to be able to invite many different Americans into the conversation, whether or not they agree with Democrats on all social and cultural issues. Let's build a bigger tent. ”
Host Kristen Welker said, “Nancy Pelosi was quick to say that President Biden has been in this race too long. Should he have come out sooner?”
“In hindsight, he made the decision to resign. Yes, of course it would have been better for President Biden to make that decision sooner. I don't think there's any question about that,” Murphy said. Masu.”
